Build Status Stories in Ready Coverage Status

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

  • Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
  • Split the work between multiple developers
  • Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source
  • Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture

For lots more details, see the wiki!

What's been done so far

  • Cleaned up source tree, leaving only core files
  • Removed support for legacy systems and moved to C99
    • Removed tons of FEAT_* macros with unifdef
    • Reduced C code from 300k lines to 170k
  • Enabled modern compiler features and optimizations
  • Formatted entire source with uncrustify
  • Replaced autotools build system with CMake
  • Implemented continuous integration and test coverage
  • Wrote 60+ new unit tests
  • Split large, monolithic files (misc1.c) into logical units (path.c, indent.c, garray.c, keymap.c, ...)

What's being worked on now

  • Porting all IO to libuv
  • Lots of refactoring
  • A VimL => Lua transpiler
  • Formatting with clint.py

How do I get it?

There is a formula for OSX/homebrew, a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, and detailed instructions for building on other OSes.
